Please help Russ pay for surgery on his spine which will be at least $15,000

Nelson / Tasman

Russ is one of the most generous, positive and resilient people around. I'm sure most of us can remember a time when he has helped us out - and now is a time he could use some help. He lives with a disease that only a few other people in the world share, but he has never let that get in the way of him living his life. His latest challenge is crippling pain in his spine which means he can't drive, work - or lie down to sleep. He is living on high doses of Morphine waiting on surgery which is going to be expensive, and he isn't entitled to any payments as its related to his disease (so unfair!). All contributions are appreciated no matter how small, and will help pay for Rusty's upcoming surgery bill of at least $15,000 and recovery time. Thanks so much.
